Dianne Lockerby, Studio #10

Fall brings us  cooler days, colorful(?) leaves and the ArTour!  We are all learning to live cautiously with covid, but the desire to return to a ‘somewhat normal’ is growing.  Those of us on the ArTour have been working to create items that will excite you,  We hope Mother Nature will do her part and share a gorgeous Fall weekend for everyone to enjoy.

My clay creations are whimsical and/or functional.  Lots of dishware and bowls for everyday use plus my pieces employing leaves in their design.  I began my clay-time with a Faribault Art Center pottery class years ago and have stayed very connected to the Paradise Center for the Arts.  I love to share my creativity and love of clay with others through my classes  at the Paradise.

My hobby is still ‘out of whack’ and I have been working to present more new ideas.  Last year I created some animal head birdhouses and this year I have a few more to show you.  These are one-of-a kind individually handmade and glazed.  This year I have added bunnies, fish and a pig!  For the bird lover this is a truly unique gift.  I’ll also have some new feeders available.

This year Julie Fakler and I will be joined in Studio 10  by Char Johnson presenting her needle-felting and pottery creations , and Ron Hammond  presenting his nature paintings.  The upper level of the Paradise Center will be full of art!!

 We will be mindful of the covid regulations and look forward to sharing our art and conversation with you.  Looking forward to seeing you October 8-10.
